## Building the tests
To build the tests, you will require the following:
* [CMake](http://cmake.org), version 3.8 or later to be installed and in your PATH.
* [CMake](http://cmake.org), version 3.14 or later to be installed and in your PATH.
These steps assume the source code of this repository has been cloned into a directory named `c:\GSL`.
1. Create a directory to contain the build outputs for a particular architecture (we name it c:\GSL\build-x86 in this example).

For Visual Studio users, the file [GSL.natvis](./GSL.natvis) in the root directory of the repository can be added to your project if you would like more helpful visualization of GSL types in the Visual Studio debugger than would be offered by default.
If you are using CMake this will be done automatically for you.
